Dancing king: Footage has emerged of Thor hunk Chris Hemsworth on Australia's Dancing With The Stars in 2006

Chris Hemsworth was left embarrassed earlier this week after being shown a video of himself performing on Australia's Dancing With The Stars.

During an interview on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Hemsworth, 27, was stunned when Leno surprised him with the footage.

And after watching the video of himself performing on the programme with partner Abbey Ross, Hemsworth, who is a huge star in his native Australia, admitted he never really felt comfortable with his dancing ability.

He said: 'I wasn't much of a dancer. You know, down at the pubs with your mates and a few beers having a dance is a little different than the ballroom. It doesn't really translate.'

In the video, former Home and Away star Hemsworth is seen wiggling and gyrating his way around the dancefloor, while wearing a fetching blue shirt and tight black trousers.

Hemsworth appeared on the programme in 2006, when he was enjoying huge celebrity success Down Under thanks to his role in Australian soap Home and Away.

But the actor has come a long way since then, and has played characters including Captain Kirk's father in the most recent Star Trek movie and landing the role of Thor alongside Natalie Portman.
